Welcome to "ION - Insight. Onsite. Now", your digital field inspection assistant. ION is process as well as a standalone smart phone app that can reduce your overall claims handling time by several days, increase consistency in reporting, and allow you greater control over your claims process.

ION walks the field adjuster through the inspection, capturing ALL the necessary information you need to make a coverage decision. Required fields within the app increase consistency in reporting by ensuring that important data points are never missed. With ION, field adjusters return vital claim information and documents as soon as their inspection is complete. This includes labeled photos of the risk, roof and interior sketches, scope sheets of damaged areas, the full questionnaire completed by the field adjuster (including recommended reserves), and an auto-generated narrative report that matches your existing templates. With the inspection information in hand, your estimators now stand ready to create the estimate and finalize the rest of the file. Control your claims destiny with ION.
